Really close to buying a MB, however...

I am really close to purchasing a MB, however, I still need to figure out how to sell/get rid of my sony s380 so I actually have money to do so. Also, I keep hearing about possible revisions coming up soon, specifically fixing the RSS problems and a small change in the logic board. So should I wait or what? I really want to wait for revision 2, but how long is that going to take?

What do you mean by content insurance? if you mean warranty I'm not sure since the laptop is one year old. But I still have the manuals and and power cable provided by sony.

I think I'm saying that perhaps a forum frequented by people looking for predominantly "P.C." type hardware would be more useful. You say sell or get "rid" of. I wondered if it were stolen, then perhaps home & content insurance would balance the equation and allow you to buy the MB.

...actually I'm deliberately wasting your time.

...except that perhaps in May when the 15.4" MB will be released you may see substantial revision to the mother board.

I heard about the cause of RSS to be a problem with the SMC wire being shorted out by an expanding heatsink due to heat, which would be a hardware issue not entirely software. However, I'm not entirely sure...

Oh, btw, I wasn't trying to sell anything here, just asking whether this is a good time to buy or not.

Supposedly, they have already improved the Macbook's hardware silently, mine is cool enough to sit on my knee, and works pretty much perfectly (I bought it in September), I have also heard on this forum that they have rev B'd the design already. I'd buy it now if you need/want it, they are very fast computers.
